This paper is one of a series that documents the difference in hippocampal coding in aged rats with either intact or impaired memory. Here, they demonstrated that CA3 neurons, which have altered cortical connectivity and synaptic mechanisms that predict age-related memory impairments, were also strongly associated with place field abnormalities.

Neuron 51 (2006) 639-650. The paper reports new dynamic coding by hippocampal neurons recorded during performance of a continuous alternation task. Not only did most firing fields distinguish goal-directed journeys from the first day of training, but the ensemble of cells with fields that distinguished journeys on the stem of the T shifted forward toward the goal of directed journeys across trials, even as standard place fields outside the stem were stationary.

By comparing hippocampal place field activity during random foraging and goal-directed searches for food, the authors found that hippocampal activity distinguishes overlapping spatial paths only when those paths lead ultimately to different goals. They further showed that hippocampal neurons encode goal-directed behaviors, rather than movement directions.

By varying task contingencies, these authors showed that the hippocampus could either encode overlapping spatial paths as similar trajectories or distinct journeys.

The study reports that hippocampal neurons with place fields that fire in sequence as rats move along a spatial path 'replay' in reverse temporal order when the rats stop moving and obtain reward. The reverse replay depended upon the recent behavior of the animal, and suggests a mechanism by which reinforcement could be linked to the hippocampal representations of behavior sequences that lead to attaining goals.
